About: Hello! My name is Alexis and I have taken care of dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages since I was little. My family and I own 5 dogs (all different in size and breed) so I’m very comfortable with all fur babies :)) I’ve worked with Labs, German shepherds, pit bulls, chihuahuas, Rottweilers, blue heelers, and many other breeds. I’ve also taken care of new born puppies, and elderly dogs before. Since one of my dogs suffer from seizures, I administer oral medication daily and if the seizure happens to be more severe, I have also administered medication through the nostrils. I am a full time college student at STC but i take majority of my classes online so I’ll be more available throughout the week to care for you pet! I would also like to mention that I do attend my Christian meetings at 7:30 p.m on Wednesday so I would really appreciate it if I’m not booked at that time for a walk or drop in visit, thank you! 😁 I will follow the instructions you have given me for your pet and I’ll make sure they’re okay, comfortable, hydrated, well fed, and having fun!

“Anne was so kind and sweet to our Brittany spaniel puppy who is full of energy, and can be a handful :) Anne came over on short notice and was on-time. Despite the fact that it was pouring rain, Anne made an effort to have fun on the walks she took with our dog, playing in leaves and splashing in puddles. Our dog came back happy and tired, overall an excellent experience and would certainly work with her again!”


“Alyssa was so thoughtful and careful with our little Yorkie who is very shy to new people! I can’t recommend her enough! We were in a bind and she saved our day! Can’t thank her enough. 10/10 recommend her for your doggie services :)”


About: I have my own dog, he is going to be 5 y/o. He is genuinely the only dog I have trained and cared for around daily, but I have also cared for family & friends pets while they are away for a few days and have fed, walked and let them out to go potty. I am excited to meet you and your pups! I’m currently home for the summer and have an open schedule! I will have plenty of time to be present and active with y’all’s pups. I also have a dog of my own so hopefully they can get around and burn some energy together as well. I will be caring for them in my house, so no need to worry about the services since I’ll be able to give them the full doggy sitting services as needed!

About: Hi there! I’ve cared for pets of all ages — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs — and I treat every animal like my own. I have experience with feeding routines, giving medication, cleaning up accidents, and providing lots of cuddles and playtime. I’m dependable, calm, and patient, even with nervous pets. Whether it's a walk, an overnight stay, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I’m currently working in real estate with a flexible schedule, which means I can be available for pet care during weekdays, weekends, and even last-minute requests. I can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs — whether it's daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet will always get the time and attention they deserve! In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and your pet is welcome to relax on the furniture just like my own two friendly dogs do. I make sure all pets feel comfortable and cared for in a clean, calm environment. Whether I’m watching your pet at your place or mine, I follow your routines closely and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Safety, trust, and love always come first!

About: I'm a furmom to a pittie, a husky mix and a really chonky cat. I've been a petsitter for several friends and have volunteered as a foster for numerous rescues. I'm experienced in bottlefeeding newborn puppies and kittens as well as house training younger pets. I'm a salaried employee for the RGV Vipers and set my own work schedule, so I'm able to be flexible with my working hours to accommodate pets.

About: I’ve had experience with all types of pets since I can remember. Including two Rottweilers, two German shepherds, birds (including a parrot), several fishes and several bunnies. However, at the moment I only own a three year old cocker spaniel, and a two-year-old Persian cat, which I love. I am a recent graduate. All my work is done online, which gives me of time to hang out with my pets and care for all of their necessities. At the moment I own a three-year-old cocker spaniel who I take out for walks every morning before I start my workday, and since everything I do is online, I take breaks every two hours to go play with him outside and if I have to run an errand, I normally take him with me. On the other hand, my two year old Persian cat is as self-sufficient as they come, however, he loves to be by my side when I work, and he loves to sleep with me (or on top of me). He sleeps most of the day, but when he wakes up, I take him outside for a quick sunbath and what I love to do most is play with him and all his toys.

When I am out of town, i miss them and want them to have the best and most loving care possible which is what I will give to your pets.

About: Welcome! My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in the RGV. I'm a reliable, friendly, and patient pet lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a veterinary clinic in the evening, so I'm well-versed in pet behavior, health signs to watch for, and how to handle pets in a calm, safe, and loving way. Being on time and dependable is a top priority for me, and you can count on clear and prompt communication throughout every booking. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, playtime, or just some extra attention while you're away, I’ll treat them like family—because they are! I'm experienced and comfortable working with pets who have special needs, including those who require daily medication, mobility assistance, or extra patience and care. Whether it's administering oral or topical meds, managing feeding schedules, or creating a calm environment for anxious pets, I'm here to provide reliable and loving support. Your pet’s health, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority! You can rest easy knowing your pet is in trustworthy and experienced hands. I work remotely from home during the day and part-time at a pet clinic in the evenings. This flexible schedule allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and real-time updates upon request. Working from home means I can be fully present and attentive to your pet’s needs while you're away, providing peace of mind and consistent care. When dog sitting, I go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and completely at home. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or medication—because consistency is key to keeping them comfortable while you're away. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and behavior, always ready to adjust care to meet their individual needs. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or shy and reserved, I provide personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of affection. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands from the moment you leave to the moment you return. For Puppies: Caring for puppies requires patience, consistency, and lots of love—and that’s exactly what I provide. I stick to your pup’s training routines, offer plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and gentle guidance to reinforce good behavior. I understand that puppies are still learning the world around them, so I create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s crate training, socialization, or simply burning off puppy energy, your little one will be in attentive and encouraging hands every step of the way. For Senior Dogs: Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I take extra care to ensure they’re comfortable, relaxed, and cared for with the gentleness they deserve. Whether your senior pup needs help getting around, has a specific medication schedule, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I’m mindful of signs of discomfort and make sure they have plenty of time for rest, cuddles, and stress-free companionship while you’re away. For Special Needs Dogs: I have experience working with dogs who require specialized care, and I’m confident and compassionate in managing their unique needs. From administering medication to handling mobility challenges or anxiety triggers, I create a calm, supportive environment tailored to your dog’s condition. I stay alert to changes in behavior or health and always communicate openly with you to ensure your dog’s safety and comfort. Your pet will receive focused, loving care that respects their individual needs and routines.
